Paintball tank thread?

Well I needed to have my steel tank hydro tested so I took the valve out. It was a chore to removed but I got it out. The threads are intact. So I got my new reg today and went to thread it on but it will not thread all the way down. So I got the old reg and tried that....same thing. Looks like they used red locktite at the factory. So could I run a thread chaser to clean the threads? Or is there more going on?

if you could find a bottom end tap with the correct thread it might work in the tank. is the locktite on the regulator or the bottle? you might try a pick and see if you can scrape it off, I've had red come off the threads of bolts before with a wire brush after the bolt was removed from its hole.

The original reg threaded part isn't as long the new ninja reg. there is red crap on the lower threads of the tank. The original reg didn't thread that far in. I'll see if I can scrap it off with a pick. Thanks
